Decai Agriculture
Blueberry grower & packer in Sichuan, China
Decai created brand differentiation with high-quality blueberries and seasonal, staggered market strategy. Since its establishment, Decai has been steadily taking the market and has grown into a pioneer and automation leader in the blueberry industry with its advanced concepts and technologies.
We are highly impressed by TOMRA's AI sorting and packing solutions. They're very accurate, very fast, and very efficient. TOMRA's LUCAi™ helps us classify and grade blueberries by color, size, softness, and other defects. With TOMRA's equipment, we can now accurately sort out soft berries.
With TOMRA, Decai built a 'blueberry dream land and dream factory'
Using advanced technology and management concepts to be far ahead in the industry Decai's goal. At present, Decai has built more than 2,000 acres of soilless blueberry gardens, adopting modern agricultural management technology, realizing the mechanized and intelligent management of temperature control, light control, water fertilization and irrigation, and becoming the first large-scale soilless blueberry planting demonstration area in Sichuan.
The TOMRA blueberry sorting line covers feeding, pre-sorting, AI sorting and grading, and weighing and packaging, which is also the core of Decai's fresh fruit intelligent factory. This line, together with the pre-cooling warehouse and front and back-end automation engineering designed and built by Decai independently, forms the most highly automated production line in China and the world.
This whole set of highly automated equipment is a work of art composed of cutting-edge technology and is also a powerful weapon for enterprises who really want to do a good job in blueberry business. The 3,000 square meters of intelligent factory and more than 2,000 acres of soil-less cultivation garden of Decai have attracted a steady stream of people who call it the "dream garden" and "dream factory" of blueberries.
LUCAi™ helps Decai keep pace with its ambitious growth plan
We plan to build 5,000 acres of blueberry plantations by 2026. With large-scale planting, the production is very large, and the long cycle of manual screening has no way to guarantee the quality of the blueberries. TOMRA's sorting equipment can help us greatly shorten the cycle from picking to shipment.
